fukk yeah the East is really not that impressive. Playoffs are about stepping up in crunch pressure situations and a lot of these teams just don't have it or aren't that deep.

Bulls have a good bench and great defenders(Jimmy; Gibson, and occasionally Noah)
At our best, we'd give the Bulls a 7 game series while we might push the Cavs to 6.
Even though our starting 5 on paper is very good, we won't have significant cap space to get a good shooter and backup center.
Outside of Chicago (IF healthy) and Atlanta none of these East squad scare me.
And i'm usually the pessimistic one in here

We'll find out on May 19th
Like i said before Riley better holler at one of them Haitian mamis that work at the arena. They gotta know a good Bokòr that can hook us up with some "pran pwen " spell for good luck.
fukk a 10th pick. We need a top 7 pick , brehs.
We can only pick 1, 2, 3 or 10Like i said before Riley better holler at one of them Haitian mamis that work at the arena. They gotta know a good Bokòr that can hook us up with some "pran pwen " spell for good luck.

yep. 91% of the above happening. Will only lose the pick if teams seeded above 10 somehow luck out and end up with a lottery pickWe can only pick 1, 2, 3 or 10

The lottery is only for the top 3 slots. Then the rest of the picks are in order of record

No. Teams seeded 1-14 (teams that missed the playoffs, arranged from worst to best) participate in the lottery(pick 1 to 3). From there, the remaining teams get arranged according to regular season record. Odds are that MIA (10th seed) gets the 10th pick. Only way that MIA doesn't get the 10th pick is to beat the odds and end up in one of the lottery pick positions or if teams ranked 11-14 somehow luck out and end up in the lottery spots without MIA being there.

Tbh, none of the teams left are that impressive. Just need another BIG and 2 shooters to be back in the mix. The problem is also Spo. Yeah, there were injuries but he is too suspect for me. We lucked out during the greatest FA ever in 2010 but things shouldn't have been this bad after LJ left. Given the team he had at his disposal at the beginning of the season, the Celtics, Bucks and BK had no business finishing above MIA
Spot could adjust and sometimes even outcoach the opponents to beat all these teams in the East except for Atlanta. Thibs is a better coach than Spoelstra but Spo has shown he can outsmart Thibs sometimes.
I had this sh!t all wrong all along
I always thought that basically teams #1-#14 (record wise) were assigned numbers of balls based on record and anyone could end up anywhere if they beat the odds. I could have sworn it was like that at some point

It is like that but there is a constraint. All 1-14 teams have a non-zero chance of ending up in the top3 (lottery) but once the first 3 lottery winners are chosen,the remaining teams get re-arranged by regular season record. The 14th seed can still get the number 1 pick but they have the fewest balls/chances. The Bulls were. Seeded #9 when they won to pick Rose at #1, the Cavs number 1 pick for Kyrie was the 7th seedI had this sh!t all wrong all along
